Here's some more info:
YouTube, as a part of our You Choose '08 program, has been empowering, educating, and connecting voters and candidates through the power of online video. Today we're debuting a Minnesota-centric program called the You Choose '08 Spotlight to highlight the U.S. Senatorial race between Senator Norm Coleman and Al Franken.
Coleman and Franken have agreed to answer video questions from YouTube users, which will be submitted as responses to this call-out video.
The top five videos (based on rankings and view counts) will be posed to both Coleman and Franken and their video answers will be presented side-by-side on You Choose '08 Spotlight on August 7, 2008.
Both Coleman and Franken have active YouTube channels (http://youtube.com/colemanforsenate) and (http://youtube.com/frankenforsenate) and the You Choose '08 platform offers people a place to learn about the two candidates and compare them on the issues that matter most in this election.
There is a tremendous amount of activity in this election around Senatorial races and we're interested in speaking with you about what we've seen, both in the Minnesota race and beyond. Steve Grove, YouTube's head of news and politics, is available for interviews. Please let me know if you're interested and I'll set something up.
